| A fool spurns a parent’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. | A fool despises his father’s instruction, But he who receives correction is prudent. |
| Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler! | Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince. |
| Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. | Who is wise? Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right; The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them. |
Bible verse of the day
“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.
